Thursday 31st December and Friday 1st January 2010 are the last two operating days of the Honeybourne Line's 2009 season. The railway is operating its Blue timetable service and the steam locomotive is the magnificent 9F class 2-10-0 owned by artist and wildlife conservationist, David Shepherd: no. 92203 Black Prince. The last return train of both days will be class 47 diesel no. 47105. 

Friday also sees the New Year meeting at Cheltenham Racecourse so here's a brilliant opportunity to 'go by rail to the races' from Toddington to Cheltenham Racecourse station. The racecourse entrance is less than five minutes' walk from the station.

From 2nd January the railway is closed until March when our exciting new season starts.  During 2010 you can look forward to a big celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the Great Western Railway; a welcome return for that cheeky blue engine, Thomas the Tank Engine and back by popular demand, locomotive Olton Hall which stars as Hogwarts Castle in the Harry Potter films.  Look out on this website for more news soon!
